Doctor Who: The 2022 and 2023 specials

Eve of the Daleks.

This one was actually pretty good. One of Jodie's best imo. New Years Eve. Time loop. Unrequited love. Daleks. Does it get any better? Probably not by much. 

Legend of the Sea Devils.

I wanted to like this one. Bringing a Classic mosnter into New Who is something I'll always approve of, but this was badly done. They should've updated the Sea Devil costume, modern TV requires more than what they did with them. You can't just slap a 70s costume on actors and expect it to work today. It'll only look amateurish. The story should've been cool with pirates and stuff, but it just fell short.

The Power of the Doctor.

Master is back. Classic companions are back. UNIT is back. Friends and enemies from Jodie's era are back. This was such an amazing send-off! Easily the best thing that has come out of Jodie's tenure as the Doctor. And that regeneration... ♥ Fantastic send-off!

The Star Beast.

Tennant is back. Donna is back. UNIT is back. The Meep is a fantastic villain. It's got fast-paced banter and all the hilarity from the Doctor trying to avoid Donna while the universe keeps pushing him towards her. It would've been fantastic if it wasn't so preachy. I suspect RTD thought he was very clever in reutilising Donna's "binary, binary, binary, binary" this way. There's a right way to be inclusive and declare you're an ally, this wasn't it.

Wild Blue Yonder.

This episode was amazing! Just the right amount of creepy, but also hilarious due to the comedic duo that is Donna and Tennant. This episode brings to mind Midnight and Flatline, which were both amazing episodes in their own right. 

The Giggle.

I was excited for this episode from the time I saw it announced. They brought back the Toymaker! A villain from the 60s! Hartnell era villain! I was so excited and holy shit NPH didn't disappoint. More Classic companions! More UNIT! And omg Bernard Cribbins ♥ And 10th finally got the family he wanted. I was so so happy for him. That dual-regeneration was weird though. But at a first glance - Ncuti seems really fucking great as the Doctor.

The Church on Ruby Road.

Ncuti's first real episode as the Doctor and it was a blast! Ruby seems like a great companion too! The goblin song number was pretty cringe, but aside from that this was a really solid episode and a great introduction. I hope that old lady will show up again and play a bigger role! 

Two years, three Doctors. Not bad :D
